Pentax Generic cable release on end of stereo cable. WITH HOLD

This is a button on the end of a 3.5mmm mp3 headphone cable that will close or stay closed. It is not proprietary but is Pentax. Thus has Pentax famous high build quality. I would give this a 5* at $20.00.Pushing the button halfway will achieve focus, pushing it all the way fires the shutter...

Pentax Electronic Cable Switch

Very simple, easy to operate and attach to camera. Use it with tripod for shake free and clear photos. Especially helpful for wildlife photography. Would recommend everyone have one in his or her camera bag. It is small and inexpensive.

Does what it's supposed to do.

Works great

handy tool

the Pentax cable release is a very handy tool, works all the desired functions including bulb mode and multi-exposures however for the price the cord could be longer, it's only 18". 3' would of been nice.
